I think I need to do this because the MTA is not SENDMAIL and I need to be
able to add subdoms programmically and we will not be doing the DNS when we
launch.
Subdom will be added by the website, each new group will have a email
alias
all at subdom.dom.net
as well as users
Auser at subdom.dom.net
The MTA will be able to accept reject subdoms (that bit is done) but I
just need to make sure that they get there !
I don't have DNS & bind to hand - why dangerous?

This would appear to be right ...
